Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've heard this all before
Same thing every time
So what you lying for
Oh yeah
I've got every reason to feel insecure
Everytime i think you've changed
You go back to your old ways
Imma show you what it feel like baby
Just a few times would drive you crazy
It's been 360 lately,
Three hundred sixty five
Won't let another day go by
No
Didn't wanna listen
Ain't gonna be no next time this time
Now you in your feelings
Tryna explain but it ain't no next time
We stuck in these cycles
Running with our eyes closed
Round and round we here again
I think we in denial
We stuck in these cycles
Running with our eyes closed
We been doing this too long
Let's make this trip the final baby
You can say what you want
Keep on lying to yourself
You been doing you and everyone else
Got nothing left
See I'm tired of the same routine
When I tell you that I'm gonna leave
Then you tell me things are gonna change
You gone learn the hard way
Didn't wanna listen
Ain't gonna be no next time this time
Now You in ya feelings

The song "Cycles" by Jade Novah is an emotional track that talks about being stuck in a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "I can read your mind, I've heard this all before, the same thing every time, so what you lying for", highlights the frustration and disillusionment that the singer experiences in the relationship. She has every reason to feel insecure because every time she thinks her partner has changed, they go back to their old ways. The singer vows to make her partner experience the same thing she did, hoping that it would open their eyes and realize the hurt they have caused. Despite the singer's resolve to break free, her partner keeps on trying to explain, hoping for another chance, but the singer knows better, and she won't let them hurt her again.
The chorus talks about how the couple is stuck in these cycles of hurt and disappointment. They keep running with their eyes closed, refusing to acknowledge the reality that they are in denial. The singer realizes that they have been doing this too long, and it's time to make this trip the final one, meaning it's time to end the relationship. In the bridge, the singer expresses her decision to leave and not come back because she had enough of the toxic love they had.

I can read your mind
I can understand what you're thinking
I've heard this all before
I've listened to these same excuses multiple times
Same thing every time
You repeat the same thing each time we talk about the issue
So what you lying for
Why are you still lying to me?
Oh yeah
I'm aware
I've got every reason to feel insecure
I have many reasons to feel uncertain and anxious
Every time I think you've changed
After believing that change had occurred
You go back to your old ways
You revert to your previous behaviors
Imma show you what it feel like baby
I'm going to reveal to you how it feels like
Just a few times would drive you crazy
Just a few experiences can be frustrating for you
It's been 360 lately,
It's repeating again
Three hundred sixty-five
It's been happening for a year
Won't let another day go by
I won't let this keep going on
Didn't wanna listen
You didn't want to listen to what I had to say
Ain't gonna be no next time this time
This is the last chance that I'm willing to give
Now you in your feelings
Now you're feeling emotional
Tryna explain but it ain't no next time
You're trying to justify your actions, but I won't give you another chance
We stuck in these cycles
We're trapped in a repetitive pattern
Running with our eyes closed
We're blindly continuing without making changes
Round and round we here again
We're back where we started
I think we in denial
I believe we're not seeing the truth
We been doing this too long
We've been repeating this pattern for an extended period of time
Let's make this trip the final baby
It's time to break the cycle and end the relationship
You can say what you want
You can claim whatever you'd like
Keep on lying to yourself
You continue to deceive yourself
You been doing you and everyone else
You've been putting yourself and others in this situation
Got nothing left
I have nothing more to give
See I'm tired of the same routine
I'm exhausted of the same old cycle
When I tell you that I'm gonna leave
When I make it clear that I'm going to exit the relationship
Then you tell me things are gonna change
You assure me that things will be different
You gone learn the hard way
You'll understand the truth through difficult experiences
Had enough had enough yeah
I'm done, I don't want to continue anymore
I don't want I dont want want it
I don't want this relationship
Toxic love toxic love no
Our love has become poisonous
I won't come I won't come back
I won't return to this relationship

I hope that Jade continues promoting the Stages album by releasing more singles, a vignette for Lifestyle, and by continuing the tour to 2021! Newness, Stages, Cycles, and In Your Head could be singles.
